Chapter 7-"You Found Me"
Reba went home a few days later.She was a nervous wreck.Brock and Barbara Jean had talked and decided it was best for him to stay with her for a few days.The kids had been told everything,and they handled it in their own ways.They just decided to all stay with Cheyenne and Van,just til everything eased up.
She layed up in bed,while Brock sat on the couch downstairs.He had not heard from her in a few hours,so he decided to check on her.It really worried him.
He ran up the stairs and knocked at her bedroom door,"Reba".She told him to come in."Hey honey,how are you doing",he asked sitting down by her on the bed."Okay I guess".She was sitting up against the headboard holding a pillow between her stomach and knees.
She was dressed in blue knit pants and a thin,low cut grey long sleeved shirt.Her hair was parted to the right side and put into two pig tails to each side.Her eyes were just full of fear,and so obviously.Brock knew she only got like this when she was upset.
He looked into her grey eyes,which usually were pools of blue.He took her hand and tried to make her smile, "Reba,arent you happy about the baby ".She was quiet for a moment."Of course,I kinda wanted more kids.But then everything happened.I thought I had found someone,then all this goes on and well...you know".Brock knew alot of this rested upon his shoulders.
"I do want this baby and I will love it no matter what,its just that the way it happened.Im not married, though.You know its always been my thing about an out of wedlock pregnancy"."Its not your fault",he told her."I was so stupid not to see it comming".
"No one sees it comming,until its happened".He saw a tear roll down her cheek.It hurt him so much,seeing this woman he loved in so much pain and when he couldnt do anything about it.Brock put his left arm around her and then pulled her into a hug.
Brock even let out a few tears.How did she stay so strong in that moment,he never knew.Reba let go of the pillow and relaxed in his arms.She knew that she was safe in his arms.She really did still love him,and nothing would ever change that.
"Brock,I love you",she told him while holding on tighter,"I still do and always will".He never really thought she ment it when she told him in the hospital,but she really did."I love you too Reba.You are still my girl".
In his mind he told himself what a mistake it was leaving her,and putting her through all that hell.He wanted her back.
He held on to her as long as she wanted to hold him.She finally let go,and showed a small smile."Ive always thought you had the most beautiful smile.Im right".
"So what do you want the baby to be"."A girl"."I hope she looks just like you,has those red curls,blue eyes,sweet smile"."You know what I want to name her".
"What",he asked."Kelly.I just love that name"."Its beautiful",he told her.
You would think that they were still married.They talked of this baby like it was theirs.Reba just wanted a father for the baby.Brock wanted to be back in her life.It was just supposed to be like that.The fairytale.
"You know Barbara Jean is worried about you".She nodded."Why dont we go see her.Just so she knows how you are doing".Reba got up from the bed.She left her room for the first time in a week.
She slipped on a pair of flip flops and walked with Brock to his house four doors down.She had her shoulders drawn up and her arms crossed.He put his arm around her to make her feel safe.
